and the even faintly oclieroiis white of the terminal space. S. t. space strongly 
constricted opposite cell, less so in the s. in. interspace. A row of very faint 
terminal dots. An upright dusky median shade, fading gradually to the ground 
color in each direction. Reniform an indefinite, upright, dusky line. Seconda- 
ries pale with a faint reddish tint deepening to a coppery red outer border. Be- 
neath, quite uniform co]>pery red, the secondaries paler basally, primaries im- 
maculate. Expands .92 inch. ;23 mm. 
Hab . — Southern Texas. 
This, in its structural characters, resembles spinosce, and in appear- 
ance is allied to sejicirata and saturata, the latter of which it resem- 
bles in the crenulate median lines and general tendency of maculation. 
I presume this would be a Eupanychh according to Mr. Grote, if its 
relation to spinosce be a generic character. 
Heliophaiia obliquata n. sp. — Head and thorax a rather deep clay- 
yellow, with an olivaceous tinge, alinost tawny; abdomen blackish. Primaries 
above an olivaceous, dark luteous, marked with a somewhat rusty red-brown. 
There is no distinct t. a. line. An oblique brown shade band extends from the 
inner margin near base to the end of the median cell, joining the upright some- 
what indefinite reniform. From this band a spur of the same color is sent to 
the base along the internal vein, and another along the median vein. A narrow 
streak runs also through the cell to the reniform. T. p. line concolorous, even, 
entirely parallel with the outer margin, marked by a very narrow, indefinite. 
l)recediug brown line, and followed and defined by the brown s. t. space. S. t. 
space uniformly brown, marking the s. t. line by the contrast between it and the 
terminal space. This line of contrast is irregularly bisinuate. A brown terminal 
line at the base of the concolorous fringes. Secondaries black, mingled with the 
tawny yellow basally, the fringes tawny. Beneath, primaries black, costal and 
outer margin tawny, the former allowing part of a black discal mark to be visible. 
Secondaries with co.stal third and centre tawny, else black. A large black discal 
spot. Expands .75 inch. ; 19 mm. 
Hab . — Texas (Neumoegeii). 
I have had several examples of this little species for determinatiou, 
some of them I thiuk from Colorado, but have not named it any- 
where. The characters agree well with those of the genus as given 
by me (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. x, 240). It is not impossible that this 
is an extreme variety of Mr. Grote’s species, but both upper and 
under side differ from the description and from the specimens I have 
seen. In mitis the ground color is dark, while in the jiresent species 
it is pale ; but this reversal does not necessarily indicate absolute 
difference. 
Ileliopliaiia amaryllis n. sp. — Head, thorax and abdomen black, with 
fine, thin, loose, divergent, pale yellowish vestiture. Primaries a dirty grayish 
brown, median sjiace a dirty yellowish white. Basal line distinct, whitish, mar- 
gined by black. T. a. line whitish, i)receded by a black, and followed by a dark
